Exercise 2: Battery charger An accumulator has a capacity of 345 Ah and an emf E = 90V. It is recharged by means of a Wheatstone bridge consisting of 4 ideal diodes and a perfect transformer whose primary is supplied by 220V-50Hz. The accumulator is connected in series with a resistance R which limits the current to 50 A. The secondary voltage of the transformer is v( )
V 2 sin , where
t and V = 90V.
